After a train robbery goes wrong they find themselves on the run with a posse hard on their heals. Their solution - escape to Bolivia. Even with Paul Newman and Robert Redford in it still movie was still a sleepr like alot, the acting from the 2 men wasn't that impressive and i hated everytime that the screen changed colors i just did. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is another disappointing and unbelievable bland film that just doesn't belong here. (0/10)

FilmBuff1994 Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is a great movie with a very well developed plot and a terrific cast. It is a very enjoyable, edge of your seat western that reels you in almost immediately and engages you from beginning to end. It is vastly entertaining, as any typical western is, but with some great twists and turns throughout. It was a little slow moving at times and there were several moments where I found myself anxiously waiting for things to move forward. There are several dialogue heavy scenes that become monotonous to watch, as we are merely waiting for gunfire to break loose. Paul Newman and Robert Redford are absolutely phenomenal in their respective roles here, Newman is charming and convincing as the experienced one, while Redford fits in perfectly as the naive young one that thinks he knows everything. Their unique back and forth was without a doubt the highlight of the film.Well acted fun. Great performances and an inspired story, I would recommend Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid to anyone looking for a good drama or western. Two bank robbers are on the run when the law gets close to them. Best Performance: Robert Redford

Bella This movie started out slow but became action-packed before the 30-minute mark. The characters are great and the scenes are amazing. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid are bank robbers on the run after robbing multiple trains. They end up being followed by the best of the business and find themselves unable to outrun them. The chase will have you on the edge of your seat.

Wuchak Released is 1969 and directed by George Roy Hill, "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" stars Paul Newman and Robert Redford as the eponymous outlaws and key members of the Hole-in-the-Wall Gang headquartered near Dubois, Wyoming. After robbing one train too many, the head of Union Pacific hires a six-man team of skilled lawmen to apprehend the duo and so they flee to Bolivia with Sundance's lover & schoolteacher, Etta (Katharine Ross). Strother Martin, Ted Cassidy, Jeff Corey and Cloris Leachman are featured in peripheral roles.The gist of the story is historically accurate, with the movie starting in the late 1890s and ending with the outlaws' deaths in November, 1908, which means the picture encompasses about 9-10 years, although it seems more like a couple of years. In any case, this was a state-of-the-art Western when it was released and a huge success at the box office. The production quality, tone and theme are comparable to 1967's "Bonnie and Clyde." It's a very 'modern' Western, arguably the first (although a good case could be made for 1967's "Hombre"), and therefore holds up well today, hardly seeming dated; that is, disregarding "Rain Drops Keep Falling on My Head," which plays during an interlude at the end of the first act. In spirit, the movie inspired future great modern Westerns like "The Missouri Breaks" (1976), "The Long Riders" (1980) and "Unforgiven" (1992), all superlative Westerns that don't seem to age as the decades pass.While Redford was already appearing in significant movies, this is the one that shot him to stardom and he went on to star in notable Westerns like "Tell Them Willie Boy is Here" (1969), "Jeremiah Johnson" (1972) and the great "The Electric Horseman" (1979), the latter taking place in the modern day, of course. As for Newman, it's hard to believe he's the same actor that starred in the aforementioned "Hombre," as his character couldn't be any more different as Butch Cassidy, a fun-loving, witty train robber (in "Hombre" he's the opposite: a laconic, mirthless white man raised by Apaches).Although the tone is similar to "Bonnie and Clyde," I don't think it's on the level of that film. I also don't understand the gushing it often receives. Yes, it's good, but at the end of the day, it's about two thugs who were on a collision course with premature death due to their own folly. Newman and Redford are entertaining as the pair, but it's hard to sympathize with fools who stubbornly insist on carrying on their idiotic thuggery even though they have the awesome opportunity to start a new life.There are two sequels worth checking out: "Wanted: The Sundance Woman," a 1976 TV movie starring Katherine Ross, which shows what happens to Etta after leaving the duo for America; and, especially, "Blackthorn," a 2011 release starring Sam Shepherd as Butch Cassidy in his old age in Bolivia, which presupposes that he somehow survived the ending of this movie.The film runs 110 minutes and was shot in Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and California. The script was written by William Goldman.GRADE: B
